So I’ve played Spartan Ops the past few days, and notice that the Grunt Birthday party skull effect is always on. Why is this, I beat the Campaign on Legendary I don’t know if that’s it or something else. Why is this happening, is there a way to turn it off?
It’s not you. 343i enabled the skull along with Mythic across all of Spartan Ops.
Currently, Episodes 1-8 of Spartan Ops have the GBD, IWHBYD, and Mythic Skulls on. 343i added them to try and add some replay value to SpOps.
After Episodes 9 and 10 are released in Matchmaking, the week following, which will be on November 25th, will have the Skulls off.
If you’re wondering why the Skulls are enabled in both Customs and Matchmaking, it is because when 343i affects SpOps, it has to go across both.
